free solo is about Alex Honnold. Climbing buildings is Alain Robert's specialty ☞ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alain_Robert

"recently", yes. Alain started climbing buildings 40 years ago.

Apparently he climbed Taipei 101 too, 21 years ago

On 25 December 2004, Robert scaled Taipei 101 a few days before its grand opening as the tallest building in the world. The 508-metre (1,667 ft) climb was legal, part of the week's festivities. The skyscraper's outwardly slanting sides posed no apparent difficulty for him, but heavy rain resulted in a climb lasting four hours—double his estimate.[
